  • Thankyou for your advice Angie, Would peas and sweetcorn be ok in the rice? Cooked or straight from the tin, sorry for all the questions! I haven't got any fresh herbs, only dried ones, but I am out shopping tomorrow, so will have a look to see if I can find any.

    Got to be good tomorrow while out shopping, it weigh in day, if I eat out I will try and find somewhere that does salad! But hopefully all the walking will help lose some lbs!

  • Jolene - I have loads of veg in things cold, they include peas & sweetcorn, also red kidney beans, tinned mixed bean salad, red/green/yellow peppers, onions, spring onions, cherry tomatoes and celery. I like all of the above cooked and uncooked, whichever I tend to be doing at the time!
  • hi everyone, and welcome to all the newbies! :D

    just got back from WI and very surprised that I lost 3.5 lbs!! That makes 1 stone 10.5 lb in 12 weeks. I'm dumbstruck, I really am. After that very slight gain last week, I am so happy to get back to losing ways, and hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll get my 2 stone award! :j

    Moose, you are a super loser -steady reasonable weight loss - just what should happen - well done

    Aren't tinned kidney beans already cooked? Mind you, even if you do need to heat them, you could let them cool and use them cold.

    Dried kidney beans on the other hand do need to be very well soaked and cooked as not only will they be bad for you, they would be a bit crunchy :rotfl:

    Yes, good luck for 6pm too :p
  • Tinned kidney beans are cooked, so panic not! So are tinned peas and sweetcorn. ;)

    Fair enough! LOL, I knew sweeetcorn and peas were, but the OS'ers are always on about cooking kidney beans thoroughly!
  • I have my first WI tomorrow, so this is only day 6 for me, but would it be possible to actually feel a weigth loss already??


    Just waiting on my pot of lentil & veg soup - yum, cant wait to get stuck in!

    Most people generally have their best weight loss the first week so good luck! Don't be disappointed if you don't though - everyone's different and it depends how much your diet has changed from before.
